Across the room where he was, there was a clothing store with two storefronts.
Inside the store, aside from some disheveled clothes and a few zombies, there was also a vortex about one meter in diameter formed by silver dots in a concealed corner.
Seeing this, Bruce Roberts couldn't help but furrow his brow.
Because he had observed that place before, and there definitely wasn't this thing there before.
But now...
Just as Bruce Roberts was full of doubts, the effect of the Villain's Eye once again manifested.
A line of text appeared in his sight.
[Secret Realm Entrance]
[Time Remaining for Closure: 23 hours 48 minutes!]
[Explanation: After the apocalypse, Earth has appeared countless tiny spatial rifts. Apart from connecting to otherworldly spaces and abyssal entrances, these spatial rifts may also lead to some special independent spaces, and the entrances to these special independent spaces are called 'Secret Realm Entrances'.]
[Secret Realm Entrances are very rare, often containing powerful treasures inside.]
[PS: The Secret Realm can be considered as a hope given to humanity by the heavens. Only humans can enter. The larger the entrance, the more humans it can accommodate. The opening time, location, and the existence time of each Secret Realm entrance are all random. Whether there will be danger inside depends entirely on luck!! Well... this is an era where appearances matter!]The information obtained by the Villain's Eye left Bruce Roberts dumbfounded.
He completely didn't understand what was going on!
A Secret Realm... Entrance?
Damn!
Are you playing a game or what? Secret Realm entrance?
He had felt this silver vortex was somewhat familiar before!
So, it turns out to be a Secret Realm entrance that exists in some games??
Could this be any more absurd?
Has reality been turned into a game too??
However...
"Will there be treasures inside??" Bruce Roberts quickly calmed down.
Whether there were dangers in the Secret Realm was random.
The opening time, location, and even the existence time of each Secret Realm were random.
But Bruce Roberts noticed, he could see the remaining time of the Secret Realm?Bruce Roberts, although well aware that after the apocalypse, this world would see many miraculous items, he never expected there would be something like a Secret Realm entrance?
Inside, not only were there powerful treasures, but it only allowed humans to enter?
Without saying, Bruce Roberts could guess what kind of existence this Secret Realm might be!
This thing might not necessarily be humanity's hope.
Because once humans knew there were powerful treasures inside, they would surely kill each other for their own selfish desires.
"Do you know what that is?" Cynthia Sanchez looked puzzled at Bruce Roberts' expression.
Bruce Roberts nodded and casually made up, "I know a little. When I had foresight, I saw this kind of thing."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"You'll know soon!" Bruce Roberts didn't have time to explain further and quickly grabbed the sword again!
According to the information obtained from the Villain's Eye just now, Secret Realms were extremely rare existences.
Moreover, both the location of the Secret Realm entrance and the potential dangers inside were extremely lethal to humans.
In other words, to obtain the treasures inside, one needed both strength and luck.
Strength and luck together?
Heh heh! This thing seemed tailor-made for the protagonist.
Bruce Roberts didn't know why he encountered the Secret Realm entrance!!
Was it because he stole Jesse Thompson's sword and woman, thus stealing his luck?
Or was it because the luck of the villainous boss was generally good, just not comparable to the protagonist's??
Anyway, now that Bruce Roberts had discovered this thing, he must get his hands on whatever was inside!
"You... you're not thinking of going there, are you?"
"Why not?! Let's go. First, let's go next door and discuss with them, then we'll decide!" Bruce Roberts also knew he was on the 8th floor!
It wouldn't be easy to get to the clothing store across from him.
Not to mention the monsters on the streets outside!
Just the monsters in this hotel, he had no idea how many there were.So, if he wanted to safely reach his destination, Bruce Roberts had to strengthen his team's power!
Luckily, the Secret Realm entrance was still open for almost 24 hours.
Otherwise, Bruce Roberts would probably just watch it disappear.
"Brother, please sit down quickly!"
Next door, Room 8006!
As soon as Bruce Roberts entered the room, Finnegan quickly pulled up a chair for Dominic to sit in, while subconsciously glancing at Cynthia Sanchez.
There was no way around it—Cynthia Sanchez's beauty was simply too captivating.
Any normal man would be subconsciously drawn to her.
That figure, that face, that skin, those legs!
What man wouldn't like them?
"Who's your brother's wife?" Cynthia Sanchez blushed and retorted softly.
Although she and Bruce Roberts had been husband and wife, and she had called Bruce Roberts "husband" many times before, their relationship wasn't actually as good as it sounded.
At least she hadn't reached the point of admitting that Bruce Roberts was her husband.
"We're all living together, aren't we?" Finnegan didn't care about these details. After saying this, he smiled at Bruce Roberts again. "Hey hey, boss, you're really something! You even managed to get Dragon's Roost University's campus belle."
When he first saw Cynthia Sanchez, he wanted to ask this question.
However, the situation at that time was quite serious, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
"Stop flattering me. Sit down quickly, I have something important to discuss..."
"Okay!"
Finnegan agreed and sat down eagerly.
Bruce Roberts couldn't be bothered with small talk. He quickly explained his intention to go to the opposite side, including his thoughts and his seemingly elusive "foresight" ability.
"What? You actually knew about all this in advance?"
After listening to Bruce Roberts' explanation, Cedric and Elbert looked incredulous.
They had suspected something before, but hearing it firsthand was still quite unbelievable.
"More or less!" Bruce Roberts nodded.Sometimes, to lead a team, you need to be a bit more "frank."
So, in order to make his previous preparation of supplies seem more reasonable, Bruce Roberts could only resort to this half-truth, half-lie.
"Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier? Elbert and I could have prepared more supplies!" Cedric said incredulously.
"Would you have believed me if I had said it earlier?" Bruce Roberts shrugged.
Ignoring whether the system allowed him to say it or not, even if it did, would anyone believe him?
Obviously not!
Just like Cedric, who felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly at Bruce Roberts' rhetorical question.
"Um... yeah, probably not!" Cedric admitted.
"Well, there you go." Bruce Roberts concluded before getting back to the main point. "Anyway, let's talk about the real issue now."
"Right, right."
"By now, everyone should be well aware of the situation outside. This world is no longer the one we are familiar with, and it's possible that we may never return to the past."
Bruce Roberts said solemnly, "So, if we want to survive, we must work together!"
"I agree with that."
"I also agree."
Hearing Bruce Roberts' words, everyone expressed their consent. After all, in the early days of the apocalypse, such heartfelt words were very resonant, especially coming from someone with strong abilities and foresight like Bruce Roberts.
"Boss, do you have any suggestions?" Finnegan asked.
"Of course, I do. But before that, I want to know if any of you have awakened any special abilities," Bruce Roberts openly admitted his selfishness, prompting everyone to enter deep thought.
However, after the contemplation, not only did no one oppose it, but it also dispelled many of their concerns. This was especially true for Finnegan, who was naturally lacking in determination.
Hearing Bruce Roberts' words, he immediately found it very reasonable. In an apocalypse like this, who had time to worry about others?
